If I’ve understood correctly it’s partly scripters/cheaters, partly botting that are the main problems right now, in high and low ranks respectively.

According to some of the discussions I read there’s been a sharp increase in cheating/botting ever since the League source code was leaked.

Wow, I wish I had known this

It isn’t really any secret, I just went by the Saloon most days to play and see how far I’d get :p After a while I got into some nice flow and just made it through. I’m sure you’ll make it too! :)

Not sure, the game is very chill in the sense that you can make progress by doing almost anything, so there isn’t really any way to go wrong. The wiki is very well made as well. I usually have it open in the background when playing.

The only warning I have to offer is to avoid optimising too much to get money. You end up optimising the fun away after a bit if the only thing you do is water your crops :p

I think the ones I’m most proud of are beating Journey of the Prairie King in Stardew Valley and the 100% achievements in Spelunky HD and Spelunky 2. Grinded several hundred hours for those
